Take it very, very slowly, involve community leaders and explain every step. Isolate the violent, detect and protect. There would be mistakes, but a steady resilience would get us over the line. What cannot be done is nothing. What is being done isn't enough. What is "proposed" in these pages is either missing or impractical.

This guy thinks Muslims are idiots. Suddenly we are talking about 'community' again. What does it mean? How can you expect an ideology that is driven by irrational beliefs to start a rational dialogue? We are centuries apart. The moderate Muslims who take religion less seriously aren't the ones we need to worry about.

This guy thinks Muslims are idiots. I most certainly don't! There is no reason to suppose the number of idiots is any higher amongst those who identify as Muslims as in any other similar group, for instance Christians. In fact the proportion of Christians who are idiots is probably higher, given that the intelligent ones are more likely to have renounced their faith. No-one is born Muslim, Christian or Atheist. It all depends on their experiences. In some countries a poor experience leads to high numbers of the radicalised. In our country, we provide a better experience, which we need to further improve. The more mature our Muslim communities become, the greater will be the chance that the extremism diminishes. We need to encourage and support that.

The moderate Muslims who take religion less seriously aren't the ones we need to worry about. Here we are talking about Muslims as a homogeneous group, as if they all believe in getting virgins after death. Many of the younger, British educated ones, would laugh at such ideas. Of course, we can start rational dialogue with them. We aren't talking to the Ayatollah, are we? We talk to Christians, which is every bit an ideology driven by irrational beliefs. Those beliefs are just not so dangerous for us. We are indeed centuries apart from the beliefs of the radicals, just as we are from those fundamentalist Christians who believe in Creationism. It won't take centuries to change, though. Progress is running at breakneck speeds now. Your last line indicates you understand all of this, but you persist in the approach of lumping everyone into the same basket.

Self appointed loudmouths Are they? I thought religious leaders were appointed by their organisations and councillors elected. Only the kind of community that exists here tends to have a self-appointed loudmouth leader.
